Title: Air Condition and Mining Profitability Post by: Zetler on March 30, 2014, 11:55:55 AM My Antminer consumes 400W, which corresponds to
0.4 kW * 24h * 0.15 EUR/kWh = 1.44 EUR/24h in electricity costs. At 180 GH/s I make 6.31 EUR/24h With increase in difficulty the earnings will drop (unless the BTC price increases). With summer coming up I need to use air condition. Does anyone know how much AC power is needed to cancel out 1 kWh of heat? I mean, as the miner produces one kWh of heat, how much power will the AC use to prevent the temperature from rising? I fear mining soon will not be profitable if AC is needed. If I instead let windows open and mine at 30 degrees C, will the ant miner survive? Perhaps I better under-clock it?
